Hi, I have a bose lifestyle 48 system and I am having some toruble with it. It is not able to play stored songs and the message displays error code 801. Appreciate if someone can help. Thanks Rohit
We had this problem. I called Bose, and they reported that the 801 error is a hard drive problem. The unit started squealing while I was on the phone to support, and the guy heard it. Said the hard drive was failing.
$200 to ship the unit to Bose to replace the drive. Wish they had a secret warantee for what seems like a common problem.
